Slices of Shakespeare

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

In this short introduction Andy explains his love of Shakespeare, and his plan for this podcast - half hour episodes introducing a famous quote, performing a short scene, and exploring the quote, the scene and the play with a guest. Less than a whole play, but more than just fragment - a slice of Shakespeare.
